Gary Snyder’s Deep Ecology and Aesthetics of Poetry: An Appraisal
Get PDFThe paper deals with the present environmental peril and the dark side of scientific discoveries and technological inventions. All the acts of development were targeted at controlling nature for the maximum benefit of human beings. It is a kind of war in which humans believe in taking control/supremacy over anything and everything. Given the situation, different genres of literature addressing the myriad environmental local and global concerns and issues, assume great importance as they not only assist in redefining/transforming the intricate bond between humans and nature, but the literary works are also the responses to the contemporary climatic changes. The paper delves deep into the American poet Gary Snyders\u27s quintessential ecological philosophy and thought. It is a comprehensive study of the notion of “Deep Ecology” as employed by Synder in his literary oeuvre. Through a close reading of some of his poems, this paper is an attempt to explore Snyder’s perspectives and how his understanding of Indian culture, particularly his deep fascination with Buddhism and the spiritual beliefs of Native Americans embellished his creative impulse

Pragmatic Implicature and the Articulation of Protest in Femi Osofisan’s Plays
Get PDFThis study was motivated by the need to explore the pragmatic strategies employed by Femi Osofisan in his plays Women of Owu, Morountodun, and Red Is the Freedom Road to depict protest and resistance. The purpose was to analyze the use of pragmatic implicature in these plays, illustrating how implied meanings and contextual cues enhance the expression of socio-political struggles. Utilizing a qualitative research design, the study conducted a content analysis of key speeches within the selected texts, examining the pragmatic implicature of the language used. Three major findings emerged: first, Osofisan’s use of implicature effectively exposed the moral hypocrisy and brutality of oppressors; second, the speeches affirmed the importance of unity and collective action in resistance movements; third, the implicit messages within the dialogues fostered a deeper emotional and ethical engagement with the audience, enhancing the plays\u27 impact. The study concluded that pragmatic implicature is a crucial linguistic tool in Osofisan’s work, which enriches the narrative and powerfully conveys the dynamics of protest and resilience. This study contributed to a better understanding of how language can be used to articulate and inspire resistance within socio-political contexts
Memoirs of Perseverance: Episodic Memory in Elie Wiesel\u27s Night
No full textEpisodic memory is the neurocognitive system that allows humans to recall past experiences. The individual memories of these experiences are referred to as short-term objectives, which describe a unique relationship with time. The concept of episodic memory is not a reference to specific tasks but a hypothetical system operating beyond preserved information and mental experiences. It does not consist of individual bits of information but involves multiple components of a single event bound together. Elie Wiesel\u27s Night recounts the personal experience of the author in a concentration camp during the period of the Holocaust. The paper attempts to analyze how Tulving\u27s episodic memory theory has been used in the characters of Elie Wiesel\u27s Night. Furthermore, it will explore how Wiesel used the tool of episodic memory objectives in his novel to show the true faces of society and further investigate how the novel portrays personal experiences and contextual details about autonoetic consciousness, mental time travel, subjective nature, temporal order, and neurological basis
Self-fulfilling Prophecy of The Arabian Nights As Reflected in Feminist Young Adult Literature
Get PDFThis paper analyzes the social-psychological phenomenon of Self-fulfilling Prophecy (SFP) through The Arabian Nights, and the feminist Young Adult (YA) literature. Significantly, the literature of two extreme ages and cultures provides universal messages. Application of Social- Neuroscience concept of Predictive Processing (PP) simplifies the understanding of SFP. In the troubled age of One Thousand and One Nights, Scheherazade narrated strange and intriguing tales to King Shahryar. The folktales provided a unique insight towards peacefully resolving a dreadful conflict. Ignorant of the supposition or reality of the gripping stories, the absolute ruler meditated on Scheherazade’s recitals like a follower. Her mesmerizing presence and tapestry of words calmed him. The Emperor gave up his ruthless decisions of executing a woman every day, and he developed a sense of forbearance with her stories as they helped him to transcend the mistrust of women. Today’s YA texts are also like Scheherazade’s narratives in tough times. The nobility of thoughts, courage to lead, and critical analysis can help humankind to emerge in a brave new world. Through her brilliant wit, leadership, care, and didactic philosophy, Scheherazade elevated herself from a ‘storytelling slave’ to ‘First Feminist’. The Arabian Nights resembles the innovative literary universe of YA literature with absorbing themes, current world issues, mythological adaptations, and speculative fiction. Reading about female leaders in YA literature awakens the world towards alternative solutions to critical world problems. These texts cultivate vital thinking and problem-solving skills in adolescents preparing for adulthood
